A furious third-period rally allowed the Canadiens to force overtime and P.A. Parenteau scored the game-winner in the shootout to give the Canadiens 4-3 win over the Flyers on Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center.

The Canadiens have been borrowing a page from Aesop’s Fables. You know, the one about the tortoise and the hare.

I have seen Daniel Boulud in a suit only once. It was back in June of 2012, when he was meeting journalists to discuss the launch of his restaurant Maison Boulud. Located in the landmark Ritz hotel, the restaurant would be posh, expensive, and helmed by a chef who would rarely be in town.

Dan Seligman sat on a couch, underneath the weary old Simcha’s Fruit Market sign hanging on the wall above him. Simcha’s, as those who have spent time around the Main will know, was a landmark grocery store situated at the corner of St-Laurent Blvd. and Napoléon St. When it closed after 40 years, following the death of owner Simcha Leibovich in 2005, the POP Montreal director and his pal, Josh Dolgin, a.k.a. Socalled, rented a truck and picked up the sign off the sidewalk — its multiple layers of faded, bilingual lettering an ode to bygone eras of the city that Seligman’s festival has come to represent so well.

WASHINGTON — Thousands of older rail tank cars that carry crude oil would be phased out within two years under regulations proposed Wednesday in response to a series of fiery train crashes over the past year, including a runaway oil train that exploded in the Quebec town of Lac-Mégantic, killing 47 people.

MONTREAL — The Caisse’s real-estate group Ivanhoe Cambridge continues to beef up its office ownership in New York City by partnering to buy a 49-per-cent stake in a Manhattan office building for US$150 million.

The predictable P.K. Subban question was coming to Michel Therrien during his pregame media briefing Wednesday, and the reply would have devastated those who insist the Canadiens head coach never has a good word to say about his superstar defenceman.
